Chaumières à Auvers-sur-Oise, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · May 1890 · Auvers-sur-Oise, France
Chaumières in Auvers-sur-OiseReproduction of oil painting on canvas
A row of cottages stretches at the foot of a green hill under an intense blue sky. Roofs, walls and grass are covered with directional touches which make visible every material and every movement of the land.
Look at the work
Thatched roofs placed on the side of the hill
Three main houses line up in the center. Their thick roofs descend diagonally brown and green, interrupted by small chimneys. The white, blue or gray walls are surrounded by dark lines and partially hidden by fences.
The green slope occupies almost the entire foreground; yellow and light touches outline herbs and flowers. Behind the houses, the hill takes up the same oblique movement, while white smoke bends in the turquoise sky.
The cottages seem to belong to the relief: their inclined roofs extend the slopes and their colors mingle with those of the fields.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The work ʻonds-9117 can be recognized by its row of white houses, the large inclined meadow, the green hill and the plumes of smoke against a blue sky.
Diagonals that unite everything
The slope, roofs and long touches of grass follow nearby angles. Van Gogh thus gives rhythmic coherence to the entire landscape.
Thatch rendered by streaks
The covers are not flat brown. Green, yellow, blue and black are superimposed on them in tight lines to reflect their thickness.
Smoke against the sky
Two white and gray-blue masses rise above the chimneys. Their flexible curves interrupt the oblique lines of the terrain.

One of the first views of Auvers
The museum links the painting to the first landscapes painted after Van Gogh's arrival in Auvers on May 20, 1890.
A reminder of Brabant
The thatched roofs of Auvers evoked for Van Gogh the villages of his native Brabant, a subject he had studied at length in the Netherlands.
Ivan Morozov Collection
Acquired by Ivan Morozov in 1908, the work joined the Hermitage Museum in 1948 after its visit to the Museum of Modern Western Art.

- Light walls bordered by dark blue lines
- The large inclined meadow punctuated with yellow touches
- White smoke on the turquoise sky
